Petition Prevent individuals with criminal convictions from becoming police officers

More details

Are the public aware that many serving Police officers have criminal convictions? I think not. It seems outrageous to me that we can be Policed by individuals who themselves have been convicted of criminal offences.
It is no wonder that the Police have such a poor reputation when many supposedly upholding the law have in fact broken it themselves.
